The UCSF Maintenance of Certification Approval Program (MOCAP) is approved by the American Board of Medical Specialties to support, monitor, approve, and report institutional quality improvement (QI) efforts to meet Maintenance of Certification Part 4 Improvement in Medical Practice (MOC4) requirements across multiple AMBS specialty boards. We align QI work with MOC4 standards so that participating physicians receive credit for improving patient care at UCSF.
